Default Where do you Canadians buy parts?

I am noticing that parts for the Jeep are generally really cheap (in the USA).

In Canada, I am seeing a huge jump in pricing, more than I normally expect.

Right now I am looking for some Ball joints on the cheap,

Moog parts from Summit are $30 for upper and $28 for lower.

Moog parts from Autopartsway.ca are $130 and $50...

Local places like Napa couldnt even get me Axle U-Joints or Inner axle seals.

Thanks!

The taxes and duty fee's are through the roof when buying from outside Canuckistan.....

I've lost a lot of sales due to freight costs alone.

My company has an account at APC. Can't beat the wholesale price list ( I do compare) and they deliver twice daily. If the item is out of stock, they bring it in 1 - 2 days. Just plan your work well.
2nd choice is a local Napa, they too are very good service, 2nd best in price, good supply, not all Napa's are the same!
Canadian Tire, for parts, my last resort, most expensive, some quality concerns in their branding, good returns policies (lifetime warranty on my Spector radiator), however if you failed to plan and it's middle of the week end??

a trick with amazon is to click on item but dont buy

within a week, youll get an email that the item is reduced price

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000...ilpage_o02_s00

this tie rod end off the steering box is regular ~$30, i got it for $9 on amazon by waiting

Do you have any trouble shipping from Amazon.com to Canada? I usually check Amazon.ca, but there is a lot less on there.

Thanks,

Thanks,
the links i posted are amazon.ca

i do order from amazon.com all the time...its never free shipping with usa amazon, but the price is all up front when you checkout, no surprises

MOST of the time the item from amazon.com WONT ship to canada, but itll say just that when you try to checkout

currently im looking to buy a trailer hitch for my diesel cruze...

$125 us (~$160 canadian after exchange) on amazon.com

$187 cdn on amazon.ca (free shipping)

so its $27 more on amazon.ca, but this particular item i cant get from usa amazon, so i have no choice, but if i was able to purchase from either, i would use amazon.com no hesitation

ive bought from autopartsway.ca, amazon.com, amazon.ca and ebay....i check them all and buy from the cheapest ON THAT ITEM....most of the time, its ebay
